SHINING WITH ADHD
#207: Does My Child REALLY Need an ADHD Diagnosis?
The Childhood Collective
11/26/2025
SUMMARY
Deciding whether to pursue an ADHD diagnosis can feel overwhelming. Parents often wonder if the label will change how teachers see their child, or worry that it might affect their child’s self-esteem. We are talking through what a diagnosis really means, how it can open doors to support, and when it might make sense to wait a little while. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in the “should we or shouldn’t we” stage, this conversation will help you move forward with confidence and clarity.
MEET OUR TEAM

After working with families over a combined total of 40 years, we saw a need to provide ongoing support and education to parents raising children with ADHD.
